What’s it all about?

Light painting is a fun photographic technique that involves long exposure photography, dark spaces and light (created by anything from a professional torch to a kid’s toy) to create all sorts of artistic compositions.

Whether you own a camera or you are just curious about the images, come and learn the secrets of painting with light!

What will we cover?

You will learn the basics of long exposure photography, night photography and light painting such as the different camera settings and how to use them. We will show you the basic tools for light painting (warning: it can involve Star Wars light sabres!) as well as explaining and demonstrating some basic techniques such as silhouetting, space writing, steel wool and stencils.

Who will be teaching?

Maria Yebra is an amateur photographer who likes to mix urban exploration (exploring abandoned buildings), along with night photography, light painting and anything else that might take her fancy!

When she is not dwelling around a dark building with her camera in tow, she runs Laneway Learning, teaches crochet or Spanish tapas and freelances as a marketing consultant.
